To be true to life we're gonna have to tell you how it is
These are the things you like, the clothes you wear
And the way you are
To be true to life we're gonna have to let you know
There are changes that have to be made

Things are here to stay

To be true to life we're gonna have to work at what
Is the best way you can be yourself
To make it seem real we're gonna have to really think
How to make it look, and feel, and sound
